The History and Practice of Having Sex with A Ghost, Spirit, or a God
Can Spirits Have Sex with You? The idea of sex with spirits, gods, and even sex with ghosts is ancient and widespread. Greek myths speak of Zeus taking mortal lovers in many guises. Daoist alchemy tells of adepts who reported having sex with a ghost in dreams as initiatory encounters. In Tantric texts, yogis unite with dakinis to attain awakening. Christian mystics like Teresa of Ávila describe ecstasies that are unmistakably erotic.
Yet the notion continues to provoke curiosity and unease: what does it mean for a human to have sex with a ghost, a god, or other spirit non-physical entity? Contemporary occultists who report such encounters are not anomalies; they stand within many long lineages of mystical eroticism.
What does Zìrán (自然) mean? & How does it relate to animacy?
Zìrán (自然), literally “self‑so” or “what is so of itself,” is one of Daoism’s core principles. It’s made of two characters—zì (自), “self,” and rán (然), “so” or “thus”, and points to the idea that everything has its own innate way of being.
Zìrán, also translated into English from Mandarin as ‘natural’, describes how things unfold when left to their own accord: rivers carve their courses, plants reach for light, birds migrate without a map. There’s no forced drive or contrivance; each phenomenon simply follows its inner nature.
Where wú‑wéi (無爲) teaches “deliberate action through non‑action”, zìrán shows us what that looks like in practice: behaving as the world behaves, moving with its rhythms instead of against them. It’s magic without applied force; power born of alignment rather than manipulation.
Is Your Magic Extractive?
Signs of Extractive Spirituality
Approaching spirits, deities, planets, or plant beings only when you need something
Casting spells solely to gain without offering thanks, tending, or relational presence
Treating spiritual allies as utilities or energetic tools rather than beings with agency
Summoning deities in times of crisis and forgetting them afterward
Asking for support without asking what you might offer in return
Neglecting to ask for consent from spirits or spaces before entering or engaging
Assuming access to all spirits or entities without relationship or permission
Using animal parts, herbs, or ancestral names without offerings, humility, or context (including having regard for tradition)
Collapsing the Unseen into a service role for your will or outcomes
Failing to acknowledge what spirits, ancestors, or the land might need or carry
How to Protect My Energy (Especially Now)
There are times when protecting your energy means choosing silence over sharing, or stillness over movement, even when everything around you suggests the opposite. Energy protection means being able to register your own nervous system before you respond to someone else’s. This isn’t always easy. Many of us have been trained in attunement as a form of survival, conditioned to read the room, then shape ourselves accordingly. (As a trusted psychic and occultist, offering shamanic readings / psychic readings online, I find it’s especially easy to fall into patterns of over-attuning and have had to work on consistent energetic hygiene).
Protecting your energy from others, spiritually or psychically, asks you to unlearn that as the default. Or at least to recognize when it’s happening, and then to choose in the present moment if that is what you would like to keep doing.
That said, energetic protection is NOT cliqueness, being hardened, or invulnerable, sealing yourself off from the world. I’ve found that it’s more about noticing how easily you can disappear inside someone else’s needs, how quickly your system can contort out of a desire to meet what hasn’t even been asked for explicitly. If you tend to overextend, or mirror back what’s expected before you’ve even checked in with yourself, then it’s likely your energy has already left the room before your body has. This is vitally important to have awareness on, because when auric and physical body are operating from a place of separation or disassociation, there will invariably be an energy leak or an energy leaching. In extreme cases, when aura and 3D body are not in tandem, it can even invite unwell spirits to latch. Here is the thing: protecting your energy is a direct form of protection from spirits that harm.
There’s a certain politeness that’s mistaken for care. A kind of over-giving that looks generous on the surface but runs on depletion underneath. If you’ve been that person, you’re probably exhausted. You’re probably reading this hoping for permission to do less. You have it.
How To Tell A Real Psychic From A Fake
So are mediums for real or fake?
Coming from someone who professionally offers spirit mediumship readings (psychic readings), I realize that my line of work is naturally under more scrutiny, as it should be. That said, there are quality professionals in every sector, and unfortunately, also ones who aren’t. So if you’re in need of deep spiritual and psychic work and support, here are some suggestions on what to look for.
Tips for spotting a legit psychic versus a fake medium
Clarity: Look for someone who, even on their website or marketing materials, communicates clearly and doesn’t over-rely on buzzwords or trend-based spiritual vocabulary that’s vague or requires interpretation on your part. A trustworthy psychic and spiritual educator will use occult terminology with specificity and context, and will also be able to translate concepts into everyday, accessible language. I do my best to share a term and then define it so the querent is clear.
Specificity: If a psychic medium only speaks in general or vague terms with unverifiable information, those are red flags. I offer spiritual guidance that is specific to a person, situation, or social/familial dynamic, and can often provide time frames as well.
Impractical or unrealistic advice: It’s important that the psychic stays on topic and doesn’t distract the querent with unhelpful or intangible advice. They should attune to the heart of the matter, cut through distraction, and provide actionable or otherwise practical guidance.
The History of Friday 13th and Its Symbolism
Friday the 13th, often shrouded in superstition and unease, traces its connection to witchcraft through both ancient tradition and modern understanding. At the heart of this link lies the number 13, long cast as unlucky in Western cultures. Yet, the suspicion surrounding it belies its deeper, older association with the rhythms of the moon. With 13 lunar cycles marking the year, many ancient cultures, including those who practiced the craft, saw the number as a reflection of the moon’s power—mysterious, watery, Yin-based, and deeply sacred. Witches revered 13 as a symbol of fertility and magic, bound to the ebb and flow of the moon, and thus, to the unseen forces of nature.
What Happens to Your Energy Field When You Live Online
Are you wondering, how will AI affect us?
Living online, especially in an AI-saturated environment, doesn’t just affect your focus. It shapes how your energy is held, scattered, or absorbed. The shift is real, even if it’s invisible, and understanding it is the first step in protecting your field and maintaining clarity. I wanted to speak to what I’ve noticed with the advent of LLMs (large language models).
So how will AI affect us negatively? Or at all?
A few observations and thoughts I’ve been having lately are…
Oversaturation of Synthetic Frequency
AI operates at speeds and densities that do not match the organic rhythm of the human energy system. It delivers compressed, data-heavy interactions that can overwhelm the etheric field. Over time, this leads to low-level psychic interference, reduced clarity in intuition, and a sense of being constantly stimulated but rarely aligned.
How to Cast Spells: Effigies as Ritual Tools
What is an effigy? This blog post outlines their function, theory, and practice
What is an Effigy?
An effigy is a constructed figure or representation, most often humanoid, animal, or spirit-form, used in ritual, spellwork, or spirit mediumship. Effigies can be made from wax, clay, wood, cloth, paper, or even roots and are charged to act as a vessel, proxy, or link in magical operations.
How To Cast Spells with Effigies?
In occult and animist practice, effigies serve as intermediary bodies, giving shape and density to an intention, a morphic field, a spirit, or a target (human or non-human). This is grounded in sympathetic magic: the belief that actions performed upon the representation directly affect its referent. Effigies make the immaterial tangible, localizing and concentrating energy for magical working, ritual work, and mediumship (hint, this is a key to good psychic readings!).
The Purpose of Ritual Tools in Witchcraft and Spirit Readings
How to Cast Spells, Effectively: Function, Methods of Application and Best Practices for Candles, Conjure Oils, and Other Ritual Tools
The Purpose of Conjure Oils and Magic Candles in Witchcraft and Spirit Reading (Mediumship)
In both traditional and contemporary occult work, ritual tools act as technology—deliberate interfaces that structure and anchor the practitioner’s will, intention, facilitate altered states, and mediate spirit contact. Materia magica such as plants, minerals, body fluids that are then made into oils, candles, and effigies (I’ve written a dedicated post about effigies) serve multiple functions: focusing the practitioner’s intention, marking liminal thresholds, storing energetic charge, and offering a “body” through which spirits or energetic currents can be attracted, contained, or banished. Their use is especially pronounced in witchcraft, where precise handling of energy is critical through a spell.
